Trend: Lace

What is more romantic and sexy than lace? I sure can't think of anything. Lately, many designers have been adding the delicate textile to their shoes. It makes sense, when you think about it: what part of your body needs the most help being romantic and sexy more than your feet. I kid, I kid, but these really are lovely shoes.

Trend: Polka Dots

I'm not sure if this will a trend I will catch onto, but I have been surprised by how many designers are incorporating polka dots into their shoes. Here are just a few:

Movie Monday

For the past few weekends Grease has been on TV, and no matter how many times I have seen it, or how recently, I can't seem to change the channel. Sandy's (aka Olivia Newton John) outfit in the final scene is iconic. Tight black, high-waisted pants, black off the shoulder top, leather jacket, and red platform slides.

Oh to have legs like hers...

Anyways, that brings me to my point: I hardly see anyone wear slides anymore, do you? Well, as soon as I can get an ass like ONJ circa 1978 I am bringing back the tight black, shinny, high-waisted pants and slides. Who's with me?
